ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for treating diamond-like carbon (DLC) with a hot liquid and/or ion beam. This treatment can reduce the contact angle of the coating. In certain example embodiments, at least oxygen gas is used in an ion beam source(s) that generates the ion beam(s) used for the ion beam treatment.
